Humankind (see the world in 4 minutes)

Dan Mace is a white South African who brought together 100 filmmakers from 100 countries. Humankind is beautiful, heart-warming and thought-provoking. In the film Dan poses this question: who are you?

Then he challenges us.

“If you couldn’t start with a qualification, status or a job, what would you answer to that?” His question is exactly what I share in the first week of Writing the City. I had a total crisis of identity when I found myself unemployed a decade or so ago but it was a valuable lesson and the beginning of discovering the true answer to the question.

Another reminder we get in the film is this: “just as day moves into night, you’re growing old. Make change before it’s too late. The smallest gestures are where change begins, therefore make them great.”
